General Local guidelines for all of Beliefnet's Discussion, Dialogue and Debate forums

Welcome to the Beliefnet Religion Debate Forum. Here you are invited to debate the validity and relative merit of various beliefs and practices and other hot topics.

In these forums, you will find people with whom you do not agree.

You must be courteous to your opponents, even if you find their beliefs offensive. Make your case, or refute other views, but please focus on discussing ideas, and do not make negative comments about Beliefnet members. Provocative and controversial comments are invited, within limits: to avoid having your posts deleted, please review the Rules of Conduct (ROC) before posting, to learn the limits on language, name-calling, hate speech, copyright, solicitation, impersonation, complaints, privacy etc.

Do not post complaints on the boards. Use the report post link report a particular post.

You are invited to talk about your own faith and how it affects you, but please respect the rights of others to follow their own religious beliefs, even if you think those beliefs are false. Attempts to convert someone to a different faith are generally unwelcome here and against the ROCs of Beliefnet.
